Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Two years ago, after the death of my fiance who was a partner in Wellington-Cabot, Inc., an importer/retailer of gems/jewelry, one of the remaining two partners, Ivan Anderson, called me and

"invited" me to invest in their company at a "discount," purchasing some of my deceased fiance's units in the company. At a time when I was most vulnerable, he convinced me through greatly exaggerated claims to place $40,000 cash in Wellington-Cabot, Inc.

After a couple of months, the claimed estimated profit projections became more inflated ($6,000-$10,000/month in dividends)and I was encouraged to purchase more units. Since I had no more cash assets to invest, I was encouraged to place it on my credit cards in two installments of approximately $50,000 each (total investment approximately $140,000). I was told not to be concerned about this arrangement as I would have the credit cards paid off very shortly with the extraordinary dividends.

The dividends never materialized and after almost two years I've been financially devastated by this investment, having incurred approximately $35,000 in interest charges alone. I have repeatedly begged and pleaded for the return of my money based on their false promises, the uncertainty of just what my money was spent on, the questionable sale of my deceased fiance's units which should have gone to his two sons as part of his estate, placing an investment on credit cards as I was not a "qualified" investor, questionable claims as to a family mine in Brazil where the gemstones were being imported from, violation of "blue sky" laws, potential mail fraud and repeated lies and misleading statements as to a suggested pay-back which has yet to be seen.

A partial payment was made in the amount of $20,000; however, this was used up several months ago in simply making payments on the credit cards.

I've gone through savings, stocks and my mother's (now deceased) generous monetary gifts in an attempt to keep my head above water which was made even more difficult due to my being laid off my job after 26 years.

Despite my imminent bankruptcy, I get no satisfactory answers as to any intention of reimbursement of my money. I've had to retain an attorney to assist which still has not yielded any results due in part to the crooked, unethical attorney acting on behalf of Ivan Anderson, James Davidson, Davidson & Associates, in Costa Mesa, California. Beware of him as well. I have good reason to believe that he has encouraged his client, Ivan Anderson, to ignore my pleas and deliberately walk away from Wellington-Cabot's responsibility to me.

On numerous occasions he attempted to assure me that they would be in touch with me to set up a pay schedule, but nothing was followed through on. In fact, on one occasion, a conference call took place including James Davidson and Ivan Anderson which was premised on assurances that it would be a meeting to schedule a pay-back arrangement. Instead, it turned into an interrogation wherein James Davidson attempted to manipulate me into making false statements against an ex-employee at Wellington-Cabot which I refused to do. Nothing more was mentioned about a pay-back after that.

Ivan mentioned in the phone conversation something about "help us out here." This attorney is guilty of conspiracy to commit fraud, coercion, deception, issuing false and misleading statements, bribery, malicious intent, obstruction of justice, collusion, etc. I am cross-referencing this with a separate entry relative to attorney James Davidson.

These men are despicable in their respective businesses. They do not think twice about de-frauding someone and walking away without any conscience whatsoever about the damage they've done and the lives they've ruined while they continue to live their elaborate lifestyles at the expense of those they've ripped off.

Do not buy jewelry on-line from JCK Jewelers or purchase from their catalogs or retail store as a means of boycott. Do not call upon attorney James Davidson, Davidson & Associates, for legal services. He is extremely unethical in his practices and not to be trusted.

Ivan's Sentence and Who to Contact

#2UPDATE EX-employee responds

Mon, August 13, 2007

Ivan is now serving a 4 year prison sentence, and then will be deported. I wish that this did not happen to you, and I wish that there were funds or assets that could reimburse you for your financial losses. Unfortunately, the remaining two employees, Stephen Saunders and Deeanna Smith Schafer absconded with what they could steal before the receivership came in. All the rest of the money and assets were spent on drugs, prostitutes, internet porn, drug whores, mistresses, cars, apartments, motel rooms, gambling trips, and lawyer fees for his numerous arrests for dui's, drugs, car accidents, fines, ect. Are you registered with the Receiver? If not, please contact Mr. Kelly Crawford at 214)706-4213. Also, you can contact Mr. Roger Maechtlen, the 'Chairman of the Board' of the directors of Masset and Petrosite (620)442-3719, and ask him why he didn't close the company down and freeze the assets and hire a receiver and a forensic auditor for the company in 2005 as I directed him to when he was contacted by me and told the truth as to what was going on in the company. Mr. Maechtlen not only did nothing, but tried to get Ivan out of jail so he could keep ripping off innocent people like you to protect his own interests. He aided and abetted the destruction of evidence, and obstructed justice by keeping me from the rest of the Board members and entrusting the company to drug addicts to 'run' the company when Ivan was in jail even after he was told who they were and what their agenda was. Let him know how much you lost, and ask him why he didn't protect YOUR interests since he was 'Chairman'. While you are at it, let Stephen know what happened to you (949)722-7330 and Deeanna ([email protected]), and let them know how much you appreciate them supporting this convicted drug felon (1990) and illegal alien, alcoholic, drug addict (methamphetamine and cocaine), sex addict, and serial sociopath and compulsive liar who stole millions of dollars and ruined hundreds of lives. Ask them where all the money went. Ask Deeanna why she is selling the company's property on Craigslist.com and how she is breaking the law by doing so. Ask her why she destroyed evidence related to the company and why she was hiding things in storage and then not paying the storage so it would conveniently be "auctioned" off. How serendipitous! Ask Stephen how he got his new Dodge Dakota Truck. Ask him where the server is and why he destroyed evidence. Stephen Saunders was the 'Treasurer' of Masset, and Deeanna is the self reported CEO of Masset, so they should know. Ivan can be contacted through the Department of Corrections under the name Ivan Dearaujo #2378238 R&R Wasco State Prison Wasco CA 93280. He will be there and then transferred. Write him a letter and detail the extent of the pain and suffering you have endured as a direct result of his actions. When all is said and done, let your conscience rest, knowing that one day he will die, and will be judged by God, and he will not be able to run from the truth of who he really is and what he has done.

Update on Ivan Dearaujo/Masset/Petrosite Criminal Case

#3UPDATE Employee

Wed, June 13, 2007

As an update to my previous post, I add the following: Mr. Ivan Dearaujo is currently incarcerated in Santa Ana Men's Central Jail awaiting trial on 12 Felony counts of Investment Fraud (securities) and Grand Theft. There is also 12 additional counts of "aggravating circumstance", being that the theft was in excess of $150,000.00. Interestingly enough, he fired his public defender and hired a very expensive criminal defense attorney, Mr. Gil May, who is also who Deeanna Schafer hired to defend him for the felony stalking offense in 2005, and the drug charges in 1990. Gee, I wonder where that money came from? Well, we all know, even though they think they are so smart. He served his time for the stalking, was taken into custody for the illegal reentry, and given 9 months prison time. When he had finished that sentence, he was put into custody awaiting deportation. He was in Long Beach, and he and his "sexretary" Deeanna Smith Schafer were plotting their imminent reunion in Brazil, when the Federal Authorities filed the Criminal charges to go along with the Civil suit that had been filed by investors. What is a shame is that he is, even if found guilty, "getting away with murder". Due to the statute of limitations and the fact that even the investors who were defrauded in the last 4 years refuse to cooperate with the authorities. Most of them are just plain tired of this mess, and want to wash their hands of his name forever and right it up to "a bad experience". However, this only hurts all the other clients who were ripped off with the previous companies he owned (High Energy Corp., and Summit Enterprises among others), and the other clients who were investors in Masset by way of tranferrence from Wellington Cabot or JCK Jewelers, but fall out of the statute rules of time. Twelve felony counts of fraud doesn't even come CLOSE to approximating how many people and amounts of money were stolen. I, among others, know of much more. There is still the matter of all the stolen property, personal and company, that was taken by Ms. Deeanna Smith Schafer, and Mr. Stephen Saunders, who raided the company until the authorities appointed a receiver, and physically then had to come and take what was left before the meth addicts pissed it all away. There is the new cars purchased by Mr. Saunders and Ms. Schaffer, on the same day, which was conveniently the same exact day Mr. Dearaujo was served with divorce papers. Hiding vehicles under other people's names is Mr. Dearaujo's favorite tactic, of which I know of at least 6. These other co-conspirator's actions are immoral and illegal. They think they have evaded justice because they are free to run around causing more grief and heartache. However, God is watching all of this, and in the end, justice will come.

I was a victim too

#4Consumer Comment

Tue, August 22, 2006

Re: Masset Inc, Wellington Cabot, Petrosite Assets I was a victim of a psychopath and his "minions" In response to Ms. Bette Anderson's report I make the following: I was married to a Mr. Ivan Dearaujo, who was the sole responsible party for the companies Masset Inc, Wellington Cabot, and Petrosite Assets described in the first report. Although these are the ones listed, he started, ran, and then closed 20 other companies during the time I knew him. I filed for divorce in 2005, and he is currently incarcerated for illegally entering the United States after deportation, and therefore I feel safe enough to respond to Ms. Anderson's allegations that also name me as a co-conspirator. I was not a co-conspirator in any way. I was also a victim, and I feel, the biggest victim. From the time I met him, he lied through his teeth about everything. After 10 years with him, not only is he a liar, but after research and professional evaluation, I have come to the conclusion that he is a psychopath with sociopathic behavior. He will serve approx. 6 months in prison, and then be deported back to Brazil. Even from jail, he is calling clients, asking for money, and they are stupid enough to send it. The business is claiming bankruptcy, so the responsible parties will walk away scott-free. Ivan always makes sure his name is nowhere to be found on any legal papers anyway. I warn all individuals, in the strongest possible way, women in particular, as well as prospective clients, to never believe a word he says, never give him any money, and for God's sake, NEVER SIGN YOUR NAME ON ANYTHING HE HAS TO DO WITH!!! Not only will you end up losing your money, but possibly your life as you know it. Do not hire him either, because even though you may make money off of him at first, you will regret it in the end. He brings death and destruction to any endevor he touches. He goes by many aliases. In Orange County alone, he has 12 registered aliases. He also goes on dating websites, so beware! He will promise riches, prestige, easy money, stability, a home, religion, ANYTHING he thinks you want or need, he will promise it, and with a mixture of truth and lies, get you so emeshed in his fantasy, that you will no longer be capable of reality. He will use your legal citizen status, your family status, your money, your business, your reputation, as a tool for him to use to his best advantage, and then throw you away like a used Kleenex when you won't play his game anymore, or are no longer useful. He has left me with 3 children, with no child support or spousal support after 10 years of marriage, he used fake social security numbers during our marriage, did not pay federal, or state taxes during our marriage,(256,000 and 26,000 for one year alone) and now they are coming after me. 2 car repossessions (60,000 and 30,000) for his Mercedes, and a home forclosure for a 500,000 house. We were evicted from the last 3 rentals after the forclosure, all the while he was making in excess of 250,000 a year by my estimate. He stole all my belongings, hacked into my email and cell phone, stole all the names and phone numbers and addresses, and contacted all of them and threatened their lives if they had any more contact with me. He told people he was a hit man in Brazil, and that he has the computer expertise to ruin them "the legal way" through their social security numbers, ect. I have come to find out that in addition to having a 25 year criminal history for drug sales (cocaine) and serving 3 years in prison for it, he was using drugs our entire marriage, and had progressed to methamphetamine use, and I didn't even know it. He was also having an affair with his "secretary" Deeanna Schafer for the last 4.5 years of our marriage, and she is currently assisting him rip off clients to "save the business" while he is in jail. She is walking around with supposedly a power of attorney for him, and conducting his business for him, at her benefit of course. I guarantee that the clients money was used to pay her rent, car payment, bills, and lingerie from Victoria's Secret that she was given. I agree with everything Ms. Anderson alleges, and more.

MASSET, FKA WELLINGTON-CABOT, STRUGGLE CONTINUES FOR RIGHTFUL RESTITUTION

#6Author of original report

Tue, February 10, 2004

Since my last entry, a legal settlement agreement was entered into with Masset in late 2002 for an amount reimbursing me for the remainder of my investment plus the representative interest incurred on a home equity loan I was forced to take out to consolidate the credit card debt resulting from the investment being placed on plastic. Monthly payments were being made until March/April, 2003 at which time the monthly checks ended. Contact with their attorney, Lee Goldberg, Laguna Hills, California, resulted in no call-backs and alienation from me in trying to restore the payments by Masset. Within the agreement it stated that upon default of on a single payment, the entire amount would be due and owing. This entitled me to obtain a legal judgment against them for the amount remaining. I secured the services of a legal representative in order to go after Masset for collection purposes. Instead, it was advised that I should pursue my initial cause against them for fraud, etc., by means of a district court lawsuit. A Complaint was filed in September/October, 2003 and parties were initially served, including the Board of Directors for Masset who have assumed the leadership role in running the company and reduced Ivan to a back office position. However, Ivan is now living in Mexico due to deportation as a result of immigration issues or voluntarily to escape his responsibilities in resolving outstanding issues such as mine, which is not entirely clear. Interestingly, Lee Goldberg has suddenly reappeared on the scene as acting counsel for Masset and the Board. He began negotiating on their behalf and indicated a January 15th, 2004, payment date of an agreed-to settlement amount. That date has come and gone and suddenly where it was assumed that I would receive my money, there has been no further indication that any money is coming my way. This is "negotiating in bad faith" and is a serious infraction by a practicing attorney and has amounted to a delay in processing my cause of action and therefore created a delay in realizing justice. I am now having an attorney review the case to asses it as far as extending liability to add individuals to the case, etc., and to include further allegations. This will greatly increase the value to include punitive damages as well. Updates will be provided.


Newest Wrinkle - Masset - A Reverse Merger!

Mon, July 15, 2002

Unfortunately, I must report that I have seen nothing further in the way of compensation from Ivan/Wellington Cabot/JCK Jewelers, etc. despite my continuing pleas and my ever-worsening financial situation. My credit record has been ruined due to the fact that I had to stop making payments on the credit cards that the WC/JCK investment was placed on because they were far too burdensome and the credit cards refused to do charge-backs to Ivan (scoundrels themselves). I'm now being harassed and pursued by the credit card companies via phone calls, letters and now lawsuits as well. I have my car up for sale and my house goes next. I'm having trouble finding extra work to supplement my personnel placement business which has been directly affected by the current state of the economy and post-9/11. As employers now look at candidates' credit histories, I believe I've been hurt yet again as a result of my involvement in this fraudulent venture. In addition, upon the sale of my house due to large mortgage payments as a result of a home equity loan to consolidate some of the credit card debt due to this misplaced investment, I will be limited to buying a much lesser home for strictly the amount of cash equity out of my current home because I will not qualify for additional financing due to my affected credit rating. As an update on Ivan's current activities, he has now transferred all of the assets from WC/JCK Jewelers, etc. into a shell corporation called Masset, Inc. He immediately issued 28 million shares to his wife's name, Monica. Together with his lesser shares, they now hold a voting majority. Stock certificates were issued to investors based on transferred "units" from WC/JCK Jewelers, etc. I have never received any legal, certified documentation of ownership in anything to show for the $140,000 I invested. I was only sent computer-generated Office Max type forms initially back in 1999/2000. As I have been demanding repayment, no formal certificates were drawn up and sent to me showing ownership in the new shell corporation, Masset. Therefore, I have no official documentation of holding any interest in anything with no communication from Ivan whatsoever of late. I firmly believe he is attempting to shut me out entirely and eliminate my name from the books as possessing any holdings in Masset, thereby making it appear that I don't exist and thus avoiding any obligation of repayment. This whole transfer of WC/JCK, etc. into a shell corporation is very questionable to me and I question its legality. No financial statements have ever been issued to the supposed shareholders/investors to actually gain knowledge of the companies' transactions and/or standing. This is a matter which is being referred to agency officials for investigation. Further support is coming to me daily from former employees of WC/JCK Jewelers, etc. and investors as well. Stories are surfacing of Ivan's use of investor money to support a flamboyant lifestyle including expensive houses, luxury vehicles, drugs, alcohol and prostitutes. Ivan has never intended to run a legitimate business operation as was recently revealed by way of his telling a former employee that the physical appearance of running a legitimate jewelry manufacturing business was only a "smokescreen." Once a scam artist, always a scam artist. The public needs to be protected from individuals like Ivan. Currently I've been told that he's selling oil and gas investment packages in a company called Petroquest Exploration out of Texas. This is possibly another questionable business enterprise and investigation into it has begun by the other company called PetroQuest out of Louisiana, a legitimate corporation. If you are contacted to purchase an interest in either Masset or Petroquest Exploration, I urge you not to get involved. The fight continues for justice. Armed with mounting evidence and multiple witnesses coming forward, I am confident that justice will be achieved and restitution realized. We are forming a joint battle plan to be executed shortly. Hopefully my next update will contain some positive information.

Dear readers, As I have done in earlier reports, I want here again to support Bette Anderson in her pursuit of this crook Ivan. As it happens, I have been in contact with is low life on this subject, as I have been also with Michael Galvis, with the latter using all manners of charm to dissuade Bette and myself from pursuing Ivan. Sadly, he was/is as big a liar and cheat as Ivan, and all the time he was using the (trusted) charm, he was assisting Ivan in setting up one more scam to defraud more investors. This time there was a sting in the tail, in that Michael Galvis used the services of Ivan to sell shares (whatever) in Petroquest exploration, knowing al the time that he was urging Ivan to cheat the very same people he had cheated before. Following exhaustive reserach by Bette, assisted by many who know and trust her, it has been discovered that Petroquest is actually the name of a legitimate company, and informed by Bette as to how their company name was being used, the real Petroquest is about to fall upon Michael Galvis like the proverbial house of bricks. These are the very types who are giving America (Corporate America) such a bad reputation abroad, and while there are many of us, decent and hardworking people, on both sides of the pond, these vermin are making us all look like crooks. Credible as they may seem, trust me, these guys lie when their lips move, and if they ever contact you asking for money, then cal the nearest cop, for you are then in the company of crooks. I have invited this shower to sue me if I am wrong, and just like the last time, these guys do no want to see the inside of a court room. Well boys, if you saw what Bette has gathered on you, then you woud know that (soon) you will be seeing the inside of a court room, and soon after that, yes boys, its Christmas dinner courtesy of the local jail. To all you decent folk, hello from England.

This is just another statement about Ivan (Anderson) Dearaujo's lack of character and ability and/or desire to conduct business in a proper and lawful manner

#110

Sun, April 14, 2002

I just wanted to add a couple of observations relative to the ownership, operation and management of Wellington-Cabot, Inc.
and its subsidiaries including JCK Jewelers, etc.

The company and its assets was placed in the name of Ivan (Anderson) Dearaujo's wife, Monica Dearaujo, which is a common tactic used to avoid liability, in this case on the part of Ivan (Anderson) Dearaujo.

Monica Dearaujo plays NO part in and has little if any knowledge of the day-to-day operation or management of Wellington-Cabot, Inc. even though she is the owner and majority stock holder. I understand that she is played handsomely for doing nothing. Rather, Monica Dearaujo's interests lie in the operation of her own business, Artist in Me Ceramic Studio, 31931 Dove Canyon Drive, Trabuco Canyon, California.

So, this tells me that she must have some business saavy in order to operate this entity, yet the fact that she has no duties and no responsibilities and doesn't so much as darken the door of Wellington-Cabot, Inc., aka JCK Jewelers, etc., tells me more than ever that placing everything in her name was a clever maneuver by Ivan (Anderson) Dearaujo to run the business in whatever manner he saw fit, be it unethically, unlawfully or immorally, and yet attempt to escape responsibility and/or liability for wrongdoing committed.

This is just another statement about Ivan (Anderson) Dearaujo's lack of character and ability and/or desire to conduct business in a proper and lawful manner and why I have had to endure the two plus years of misery he's inflicted on me.


#120

Sat, April 13, 2002

The latest attempt to settle this matter with Wellington-Cabot, Inc., Ivan (Anderson) Dearaujo and Monica (Anderson) Dearaujo involves two additional men by the names of Michael Galvez and Billy Huddleston and a oil venture called Petroquest out of Texas. Supposedly Wellington-Cabot, Inc. and these two men representing Petroquest are planning to merge and form a new entity. Michael Galvez has been contacting the investors in Wellington-Cabot, Inc. in order to "pitch" them on investing new dollars in both his own venture and the joint merger. It naturally follows that Ivan Dearaujo has probably been given access to the list of Petroquest investors in order to pitch them as well. Instead of returning the investment money owed me, Ivan Dearaujo and Michael Galvez's plan was to spin me into new investments and diversify my money with more "pie in the sky" promises of lucrative returns. Why would I want anything to do with anymore investments that Ivan had anything to do with? And why should I trust Galvez and Huddleston if they would willingly and voluntarily join with Ivan in any business venture?

The Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the Department of Corporations and the District Attorney's Office in Los Angeles are in receipt of formal complaints by me and are at this time investigating Ivan Dearaujo, Monica Dearaujo and Wellington-Cabot, Inc. My resolve is firm that justice will be done, that my money will be returned and that those who are guilty of committing illegal/unlawful acts will be found guilty and held accountable for their actions.


Ivan has no conscience. He will lie at the drop of a hat without flinching. He thinks nothing of deceiving and destroying lives in order to achieve gain and attain wealth for himself.

#130

Tue, April 02, 2002

Ivan's latest offer of settlement to me included payment from the proceeds of a rental home which he owned which was sold for over $460,000. The house sold in no time and the sale has been confirmed by the realtor himself, as I posed as an interested buyer. Yet, as the date for the closing approaches, there is no further word about any payment to me from the proceeds.

He misled both me and my brother who has stepped in to aid me in my struggle against this wicked, evil foe. Ivan has no conscience. He will lie at the drop of a hat without flinching. He thinks nothing of deceiving and destroying lives in order to achieve gain and attain wealth for himself.

Ivan's latest maneuver to convince me to leave my money in is talk of a "reverse merger." In checking out the shell company stock symbol he gave me, it appears that it is listed as "inactive" and is "unregistered" with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

I smell another rat. He indicated to my brother that he would fax him some information and claimed that there will be a 3-1 split and that everyone will make three times their money, with a 100% guarantee on their principal. Funny how my brother never received any faxed information as Ivan promised.

Why do I get the feeling that this is another fraudulent scheme about to be perpetrated upon more innocent, unsuspecting investors? Do your own speculating. It wreaks of potential wrongdoing.

This man must be stopped and prevented from preying on the public any further. He's done far too much damage already. It's unconscionable that he's still allowed to freely and openly operate within a totally unsuspecting society. Hopefully that will change soon, as I am pursuing multiple avenues of action against him, including civil and criminal. Justice will prevail and the scoundrels of this world such as Ivan will eventually get their due.

He continues to mislead and make false promises as he has in the past. I seriously doubt if he has any intention of paying me back despite his attempts to convince me otherwise.

With regard to the rebuttal of Emmanuel Ivan Anderson, aka Ivan Carlos Dearujo, aka any number of combinations and variations,
first of all, please note that he used the name of "Waldir DeCosta," either a relative or a close friend who works at Wellington-Cabot, as the signator, referring to him as the owner rather than himself. As it turns out, he used Mr. DeCosta's name without his permission and he was unaware of and had no knowledge as to what had been written and passed off as being his written word. Is this not yet another example of
Mr. Anderson's deceptiveness, unethical behavior and capability to commit wrongdoing? Why would anyone think that this man would conduct his business any differently than he handles his relationships with family and friends? It demonstrates that he would stop at nothing to achieve his desired ends, whatever they may be and whomever they may negatively affect.

Yes, I have called Ivan names and yelled at the top of my lungs on the phone after two years of constantly being lied to and led to believe my money was forthcoming with nothing to show for it. Can you really blame me for being upset? In fact, he even went so far as to tell me on one occasion that he had completed a deal with a man out East and that he would be wiring my money to my bank account right away. I proceeded to give him my account information and then kept in touch with my bank to see if the money had come in. Finally, the next morning, after not hearing anything further regarding a wire transfer, I decided at about 10 a.m. to venture out to the bank. I hesitated a moment and then decided to wait awhile before leaving. Fortunately, my change of plans very well may have saved my life as a hold-up and shoot-out occurred at the bank at the very time I would have arrived. One person was killed and another was injured. I could have lost my life that day in the cross-fire chasing after one of Ivan's lies. It's unconscionable. There was never any money transferred, nor did he ever intend to wire any.

As for the assault, the real story has finally come out. I had no idea what Mr. Anderson was talking about late one night when he called me and said his attorney, James Davidson whom I've mentioned previously, was on another line and Ivan began immediately with, "When was the last contact you had with the known criminal, XXXX." I answered, "You've got to be kidding, I'm not getting into this conversation without my attorney." He said, "This is much more serious than you think." Well, out of the blue the person he spoke of called me after not hearing from him for a long period of time. He and my fiance used to go fishing now and then and he has kept in touch on occasion since the death of my fiance to say hello. I have never met him in person. When I asked what the story was all about that Ivan was telling involving him, it turns out that Mr. Anderson had been delaying the payment of wages to him and his friend, both of whom Ivan had known for quite some time. They were actually there to help Ivan out with computer system problems which, I understand, were costing him tremendously in terms of lost business. After having to finally ask outright for payment for their services and being put off, one of the men went ballistic and hit Ivan (the "employee" he describes being himself) when Ivan related how he had done a $200,000 deal the day before and was going out to buy his wife a new Mercedes. Ivan has been trying to associate me with that incident, suggesting that I paid the two men to attack him. Just a bizarre attempt to turn the tables on me and make it appear that I'm the bad person and he's the victim in order to cover up and avoid his responsibility to compensate me.

As far as a police report of the incident is concerned, in contacting the Lake Forest Police Department to obtain a copy of the said assault report, it's interesting to note that in giving them an approximate time frame during which this assault may have occurred, they indicated that they had six event or location reports during the time period from October to December, 2001. Six!!! I await the receipt of those reports with great anticipation! It truly makes me wonder what else goes on there. I'm surprised Ivan hasn't connected me with more incidents!!! Should my name appear on any assault report as being an accomplice, rest assured I will bring charges against Ivan for falsely accusing me of being involved in criminal activity. I have already requested the Lake Forest Sheriff Department's help to clear my name and press charges if necessary.

Dear readers,

For starters, Bette Anderson, a good and true friend of mine, is the most generous of people, with a heart of gold, and never a person to accuse anyone of fraud were it not true.

The guy who own JCK Jewelers, Ivan TinyDick, is a fraud, a louse and a total wanker, and believe it or not, and remembering what he says of Bette, he is telling all who listen that he had an affair with her, and knowing Bette as I do, a lady with taste, were he the lat man in the Universe, he woulsdd still need to w**k, as Bette would have nothing to do with him.

It was fun reading his rebuttal, and in addition to the lies, his command if the English language is as skillful as his ability with the truth. As for the lawyer involved, and talk about two toatl wankers in the same pod, I have problems in deciding which is the bigger crook.

These guys could not organise a piss up in a brewery, let alone run a business, and the stories about the business having minor problems, bollocks. The only problem any floundering business can have is being run by a floundering idiot, and trust me, this Ivan guy is a prize floundering idiot.

We are wondering if his wife is aware of his claims to affairs, and as the business is in her name (a common trait among fraudsters), she might well piss off leaving him as pennyless as he has left other investors. Bette is right, they are crooks, so steer well clear of them, unless its in the road, and in that case, run the bastards over.

By the way, you will note how we insult these guys, and with one of them an attorney, they never make good their threats to sue us, and do you know why, well yes, right, because a court room is the last place these two devious bastards want to be.

A happy New Year to you all from England, except, of course, the devious bastards.

I would love to know just who this "convicted criminal" is!!! It appears that Mr. Anderson is making up stories as a diversionary tactic. Please, go ahead and file all of the police reports and do all of the investigation necessary relative to whatever happened, if it happened. You won't find me connected!!! There must be someone else as well who has been angered by the proprietors of the company but they evidently decided to act it out physically. I live 2,000 miles away from all of the problems in California! All I know is that I've been taken for a ride, my money is missing and I want it back. Plain and simple. Oh, by the way, I'm filing a lawsuit immediately. If my lawyer didn't think I had a case, he wouldn't be so willing and eager to take it on. I guess this will just have to be settled in court - the proper forum for it. As for being a nut case??? It takes one to know one.

You've been the target of a nicely organized scam.

Rebuttal:
Bette,

You've been the target of a nicely organized scam. The first thing I'd like you to do is take the word "investment" out of your vocabulary. The term "investment" is the con's best friend. An investment can be lost with no hope of return--a risk. It is a good possibility that these men have scammed you out of funds they used to pay off personal debt.

I want you to contact the Los Angeles Field Office of the FBI at (310) 477-6565 and tell them your story. They're located on 11000 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 1700
Los Angeles, CA 90024 in case you need to pay a visit.

Make sure you emphasize in your complaint that you were told it was an "investment" but that you suspect it was simply "theft." Do not let the partners dissuade you from doing this. Your statute of limitation on fraud is nearing an end so they may want to run out the clock. However, I suggest you contact their attorney AFTER you have visited with the FBI and tell him you've reported his client. Also, tell that attorney that you
plan to report him to the California State Bar Association because you suspect he knows his clients have committed fraud and is an accomplice.

I also would recommend you make a complaint to the Securities and Exchange and report their unscrupulous practice of selling "shares". You can go to an online forum for this at http://www.sec.gov/complaint/cf942sec9570.htm.

DO NOT let the partners put you off with measly payments. Tell them that all future payments to you can be made through the authorities unless it is IN FULL including all interest accrued and paid on your credit cards.

Don't waste another minute!

Good Luck
The Fraud Chick
